Mueller report thread - Mueller testimony July 24

[riceowl]

So nobody is going to be indicted for some sort of conspiracy?

How are they going to spin that?

The report is likely to have indictments in it

No. It's a report.

Per Fox, a "sr. justice dept official" says the report recommends no additional indictments

[Esteemed Jimmy]

this will reinforce everyone's prior beliefs and change very little.

[bilaps]

Zero.

Number of US citizens indicted for Russia "collusion"

Trump Jr, Kushner, nobody. Not even Manafort.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Maybe Mueller can indict some officials for colluding with Israel now.

[Suburbia]

Regardless of what happens, Democrats have to work hard to convince voters that they should win in 2020. What does it say about America?

[Virginiá]

Why is anybody saying this means nobody else will be indicted? Isn't that exactly what sealed indictments are for? If anything, it means Mueller doesn't expect to get anymore cooperating witnesses, which makes sense seeing as, you know, the report is apparently done.

Well one reason I'm hesitant is that many of the prosecutors on Mueller's team have already departed and moved on. It's clearly closing down.

That being said, SDNY's office could still do stuff and same for state prosecutors.

Of course, there could still be indictments in the various other investigations.

Damn. Trump is going to be vindicated. This sucks.

We are currently in a state of Shrodingers Report: it has both been finalized but not released. So everyone and their Grandma has a theory of what is in the thing. I would treat all takes and information as suspicious until we actually see if the cat is alive or dead.

Excellent advice.

But hot takes about how this spells doom for Dems in 2020 are much more fun

Russiagate will doom Dems in 2020.

[Senator Incitatus]

No indictments (if accurate) is good news for Trump, but that doesn't mean he's clear of the potential political fallout of the details within the report itself.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Go Trump! Innocent totally innocent.

He's going to be reelected as the American people will be angry about the witch hunt against our president these past 2 years.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Maybe Mueller can indict some officials for colluding with Israel now.

Would be rather awkward to have 95% of Congress indicted.

[Crumpets]

Yeah, nobody was ever indicted in the Clinton email investigation, but that's not really the first thing anybody thinks about when it comes to Comey's reports.

[Illiniwek]

(gulp)

This is something that Ilhan Omar would say. This is not an acceptable coent.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Already hearing how Trump's approvals will go up 5-8% now that this is over from my Trumpy folks

This but unironically. The problem with Dems is that they’re the smart Party but the American voter is stupid. Hard to form winning coalitions off that.

I've never viewed this as a partisan witch hunt so much as the establishment (both parties included along with many government agencies) wanting to prevent a rapprochement with Russia. As long as this RussiaGate nonsense was all over the airwaves any attempts Trump would make to repair our relations with Russia would be clouded with suspicion. It has been clear since the late 90s that our establishment wants a new Cold War.

And let's not lose sight of the fact that this investigation has already resulted in quite a few indictments, guilty pleas, and convictions, including Trump's former campaign chairman and national security advisor.  If this was a witch hunt, it found a whole coven.

[DrScholl]

So what if there are no indictments? Democrats can run on innuendo like Republicans did against Hillary Clinton. "After all, Mueller is a Republican so it's not like he would recommend indicting Republicans". The spin writes itself and could be very effective if played right.

[Horus]

I actually don't think this will change much, maybe a temporary bump like when Obama got Osama.
